2025 NHK Trophy Rhythm Dance PBP - Spice Up Your Live(Barn)

[tony]

The best for me so far once again. Twizzles got dicey on the second set, you could see when they grabbed hands he basically was up at her elbow because they traveled too close together but they were done clean. ChSq and the rotational lift once again highlights. But their FD is really the standout IMO.

This team always looks sloppy to me

I always love Jen & Ben. Regardless of the success of their elements (alot worse this week IMO compared to last week), they are always performing. I enjoyed that the most of the teams in this first group.

The Shibs brought retired skater competing at Japan Open for funsies energy to a serious GP event in an Olympic year. Think of Irina Slutskaya scoring a 69 for the LP at the 2013 Japan Open.

I’m just surprised they didn’t do any competitions before this. I mean the Olympics are literally less than three months from now and this is their first competition to make a comeback?

I know. They were arrogant or stupid. Or both.

They are sloppy and you could make snow cones from all the ice they kick up.

How many shiny pants can we cram into one competition?

They might as well have just tried to do a Sasha and show up at nationals.

Oh Yuka and Juho .... I just LOVED them last season. Have there ever been more enthusiastic YMCA-arms than Juho's?

 

[genevieve]

whoever is in charge of the sound is super sloppy drunk - volume keeps suddenly going up and/or down.

I missed that G/P had to withdraw from CoP

 

[ChillSkate]

Charlene's strap looks like a seatbelt

 

[Firedancer]

Ugh still the ugly costumes for G/F

 

[Braulio]

Yuka looks STUNNING

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Silent warm up??

 

[Karen-W]

There is a costume designer in Helsinki who really doesn't know how to properly costume a fuller figured woman like Natalie Taschlerova and I hate that for her because she's not unattractive but these costumes she's been given this season are SOOO unflattering.

I feel like I’m shopping at Champs or the athletic wear department section at a department store circa mid-to-late 90s.

one of my favorite things at Worlds in Boston was doing the YMCA with them ngl

Oh my God I nearly forgot about that. Bless

What was her short program? I see her wearing red and black in my mind and she had sleeves…

 

[genevieve]

Orihara is giving major Sneaker Pimps vibes. Can a girl hope?

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) ummm fml wasn't it espana cani? and she was so, so, so thin (I remember skating at Aliso Viejo around then and oh boy)

Holy crap do I need to go on Prevagen? How do you guys remember this stuff. You’re absolutely right she and she also is looking very thin yes.

 

[Wyliefan]

@AngieNikodinovLove (ANL) ummm fml wasn't it espana cani? and she was so, so, so thin (I remember skating at Aliso Viejo around then and oh boy)

She looked so fragile at that nationals. I felt so bad for her.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, they need to get their CTES mins somewhere, so they can't just show up at Nats, lol.

No. This flight is giving us two Spice Girls RDs.

she looked sooo thin indeed, looked like gymnast Svetlana Khorkina at Athens 2004

 

[my little pony]

Mauri can still get it

 

[kwanette]

Lethal combo.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

She looked so fragile at that nationals. I felt so bad for her.

I feel like she also made a comment about being bloated or fat in the KnC too.

But, yes, Espana Cani.

I mean, I'm all for Lilah's Spice Girls but couldn't someone toss me some Sneaker Pimps? C'mon.

Guignard & Fabbri really are 2 years past their prime at this point. Even in warmup, he looks so much more wooden on twizzles like he's barely hanging on. I so appreciate the extra complexity they have into, within, and coming out of the elements but just no now. I thought they were gonna be slated like 5th or 6th but now I'm wondering if they are clinging to stay in the top 10 by Milano.
